Vivian Schiller

A Parody.

As a result of an undercover video of now-former executive Ron Schiller playing into anti-Semitic canards, talking about how the federally funded news station could do without government money, considering accepting a donation from a fake Islamist group, and indicating a deep disregard for conservatives, Schiller no longer works for NPR. It seems that NPR was most concerned about Schiller's statements that the radio station would be fine without federal money.

CEO Vivian Schiller can’t get her story straight.

Late on Wednesday, October 20, David Folkenflik, the media reporter for National Public Radio, announced that NPR executives had terminated the contract of Juan Williams, who had worked for NPR for ten years, first as a reporter and for the last two years as a “news analyst.”

Vivian Schiller, the CEO of National Public Radio, publicly questioned the sanity of former NPR news analyst Juan Williams one day after dismissing the Fox News contributor for comments inconsistent with NPR’s standards. Schiller said that Williams should have kept his views between himself and “his psychiatrist or his publicist” in an appearance in Atlanta today.
